Chapter 1830
Bethany acted like a mad dog in front of Carrie, barking and spewing shit, proving her downfall.
Carrie's clear eyes were stunned.
She just noticed that Bethany had hearing aids on both of her ears, which were covered by her hair earlier.
"Bitch... Since I'm deaf, I won't let you off easily before I leave. I'll make you deaf too!"
Bethany, encouraged by her anger, raised her arm and struck down at Carrie's face with all her might. Unexpectedly, Carrie, who used to let Bethany bully her all the time, swiftly dodged the blow.
Soon after, a crisp slap echoes in the living room. For the first time in her life, Carrie instinctively slapped Bethany back.
Even the passing servants stood still in shock, secretly smiling in satisfaction.
Carrie had finally grown a backbone. From now on, she will be taking charge!
"Ah!" Bethany covered her face and growled.
It was the first time Carrie hit anyone, so it was not painful, but Bethany's pride was shattered.
"Sister? No, you're not my sister." Carrie clenched her fingers and shook her head slightly. "When you set me up, you're not my sister anymore. But I won't resent or hate you. It's not worth it. After this slap, we're even."
"Even? Hahaha... The grudge between us will never be even! Fuck you!"
Bethany's face flushed red with rage as she charged at Carrie, her eyes bulging as she swung her arms.
This time, Carrie could not dodge in time and instinctively shrank back. But a tall and powerful figure suddenly stood in front of her, shoving Bethany away.
Bethany collapsed to the ground, feeling so much pain in her butt that she was unable to get up. "Justin!"
Carrie looked up at Justin's reassuring back, her tensed heart finally relaxing.
Bethany stared at the man's cold face in a panic, scooting backward on the floor.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"A leopard cannot change its spots." Justin looked down at her indifferently, shielding Carrie behind him. "Justin... If you're so tough, go exert dominance with the Hoffman Group! What kind of hero are you, bullying a weak woman like me here?!" Bethany's teeth chattered in fear, but she refused to back down. She just could not swallow the humiliation.
"I don't want to be a hero. I only want to protect my sister," Justin said indifferently, but his gentle gaze landed on Carrie's small face.
Bethany took in this ironic scene, feeling anger and bitterness in her heart.
Although she had never genuinely admitted Justin as her brother, she and Carrie were both birthed by Shannon. Why did this man only recognize that fool but never treat her like a sister, even for a day?
Was it because she never called him "brother"?
"I have frozen all of your credit cards. Once you're abroad, you will receive a monthly allowance of $ 10,000. Don't think of asking Dad for more money. He won't give you any. Even if he does, I'll check your
account every month. As long as there are suspicious transactions, I'll freeze them immediately." Justin's gaze was as cold as ice, ruthlessly crushing Bethany's hope.
Bethany pounded the ground madly. "Justin... You might as well kill me!"
She thought, '$10,000? What was it enough for?! It was not even enough for my hair treatment!'
Justin held Carrie's thin shoulders and turned around, ready to leave. "It's hard to go from an extravagant lifestyle to frugality. You can adjust slowly over there."
"Hahaha... I lost, but you're not doing any better, are you?!"
Bethany's sinister laughter pierced his back, her face twisted in malice. "Carrie, a virgin, has now become a worthless whore because of your best friend. She's not 'pure' anymore, and her reputation in Savrow is ruined. In the end, the Hoffman Group didn't want her because she's an idiot. Her dream of marrying Ryan is shattered! So much effort just to end up with nothing!"
Justin's brows furrowed, his hand gripping Carrie's trembling shoulders tighter.
"She's damaged goods now, and your good brother, Ryan, is no better!" Due to her declining hearing, Bethany screamed at the top of her lungs, attracting all the servants to watch. "He did everything he could to marry Carrie, but it's all useless! Ryan must be going mad now, right? Haha... I want him to know what it feels like to want something he could never have! If I can't have it, neither can he!"
Every word and sentence was like a sharp blade slicing through, causing Carrie's heart to contract in pain.
"The current struggles are only temporary." Justin gritted his teeth. "As long as they still love each other, nobody and nothing could separate them."
"Haha... We'll see about that."
Bethany got to her feet, staggering. "I saw Mayor Solloway and his wife coming to ask Dad for Carrie's hand in marriage with their son, Jason!"
"What did you say?" Justin immediately turned back.
Carrie hugged the teddy in her arms tighter, sweat forming on her forehead as her heart pounded.
"Oh, is there still something even our almighty Mr. Salvador doesn't know?"
Bethany smiled sinisterly. "I said, the Solloway family has their eyes on Carrie. They don't mind that she's an idiot, and they beg Dad to let her marry into their family! As long as Dad agrees and Carrie marries Jason, your best friend will no longer have a chance. Tsk... Carrie, I never realized before, but you're quite charming. I thought only Ryan was foolish enough to like you, but I didn't expect even Jason to fall for you too! What a slut!"
